Today the Glock pistol has been embraced by two-thirds of all U.S. police departments, glamorized in countless Hollywood movies, and featured as a ubiquitous presence on prime-time TV. It has been rhapsodized by hip-hop artists, and coveted by cops and crooks alike.

Crown Publishers and RealClearPolitics Announce Publishing Partnership
To Cover 2012 Presidential Campaign As It Unfolds

In his new book PINCHED: How the Great Recession Has Narrowed Our Futures and What We Can Do about It (Crown, August 8, 2011) Atlantic journalist Don Peck explains how economic weakness is slowly narrowing the life opportunities for millions of Americans, and why the most pronounced effects of the recession are yet to come. According to Peck, every class and every generation will be affected, including newly minted college graduates, blue-collar men, affluent professionals, exurban families, elite financiers, inner-city youth, and middle-class retirees. He provides much needed historical perspective, explaining how society changed over the course of other long, deep downturns–and what finally ended them. “In truth, societies never simply ‘recover’ from downturns this severe,” says Peck. “They emerge from them different than they were before–stronger in some ways, weaker in others, and in many respects simply transformed.”
“Who was he?” asks Geoffrey Gray, author ofSkyjack. “To know D.B. Cooper was such a man, and he had a name other than his alias Dan Cooper, and a family, maybe a sister or brother, a job, and a reason to commit the only unsolved hijacking in our time, and that I might have the ability to determine once and for all who he was became the ingredients for an obsession. How else to explain the three days I spent in the basement of the Rutgers University library, flipping through year backs from postwar years ’46, ’47, ’48, and ’49, looking for faces on the track team that matched an FBI sketch that might not even look like Cooper himself?”
“At first I wanted the book to be about Michael,” admits John Prendergast, “and I’d just be a supporting actor. But as we got into it, I realized I had to explain WHY I cared enough about Michael and his brothers to become their Big Brother. And once I started asking those internal questions, the answers took me deeper and deeper into painful and often embarrassing spaces. But the more I ‘discovered’ about myself and my own history, the more determined I was to tell the whole story, no matter what it revealed.”
“As a teenager, I swore in my adult life there were two things I would never do,” admits Keith Dixon. “I would never get married. And, I would never live in New York City. Cooking for Gracie is another thing I never expected to happen – from the beginning of my writing career, I always wanted to be a novelist and nothing else, to grapple exclusively with the big sweeping narrative dreamlands. I never much considered the possibility of writing a memoir, or – even stranger – a memoir with recipes. And yet that’s exactly what I’ve done, or at any rate been led to do.”
What would you do if, just weeks after your spouse’s sudden death, you found out he or she was keeping secrets? Big secrets.
